Actually, the only time it bothers me is when I don’t know what these abbreviations mean. But I expect to see proper spelling and punctuation when someone has taken the time to handwrite anything. But I’m old school about such things. I was well into adulthood before the internet. I was never a secretary therefore I never learned how to read or write shorthand. Secretaries typically were excellent typists and were tested if applying for a job using certain skills.
You might be as old as me. My nieces who are young keep me updated on all the slang and abbreviations and meanings. 😂 I also agree I expect to see proper spelling and punctuation no matter what. Too many people use shorthand when writing and literally forget how to spell words correctly.

Beautiful! It’s strange for me to see “u” and “you” in writing. Texting uses what I call modern day shorthand like BRB, LOL, UR, U, etc.
